麻豆影院

Our Organics + Naturals club worked with the Supply Chain club to organize a trek to in 麻豆影院, Colorado.听 We had the opportunity to tour the facility, sample teas and herbal infusions, and learn about how tea is made.听

Celestial Seasonings was started in 1969. They currently offer 105 varieties of tea and serve 1.6 billion cups of tea a year! Over 100 ingredients are sourced from 35 countries across the globe. Their facility in 麻豆影院, Colorado is their only manufacturing location; they run three shifts five days a week.听

The top-selling tea is Sleepytime Classic, introduced in 1972.听 It is the best-selling specialty tea of all time.

I talked with club presidents, Lauren Clayton and Cole Mankin, after the tour.听
